Police Shooting Themselves With Bad Behaviour

Buffalo Police Bullies Charged

The Buffalo Police seem to have not been watching the public tide that has not been flowing in their favour. There have been a few glimpses of hope. Officers seen taking a knee. However, by and large their playbook seems to be same old, same old.

Police Pushing 75 Year Old

The image of a 75 year old Senior citizen being pushed to the ground, pushed so hard that he fell and broke his skull and is critical in hospital is very difficult to watch. The police lied by claiming that he tripped and fell. The video clearly shows him being pushed by police. He was unharmed and therefore not a threat to an army of well armed police assembled. He was peacefully demonstrating.

Officers Arrested

Two officers identified pushing the elderly man, in Buffalo, USA, have been arrested and charged for assault at 2nd degree … taken before a judge and given their own bail, declared the prosecutor. Under their statute to assault a person over 65 and you are 10 years younger than the victim carries an additional charge of 2nd degree, is added.

Blood

Blood could be seen staining the pavement from pushed victim’s skull. A battalion of police could be seen assembled outside the court house cheering when the two accused officers came from before the judge. They should be ashamed of themselves. What is there to cheer about? Celebrating criminality and or coarse behaviour? Give me a break.

Minneapolis police have had two of their contracts cancelled with a university there. Details on the other cancelation is not immediately available up to press time.

Disbanding

There is talk about defunding the Police in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. This may even lead to disbanding this police service. We will wait to hear the details of this new proposal of possibly disbanding Minneapolis police services.
